I Am Not A Goblin Slayer-Chapter 408 - 249_2

Even if Gauss didn’t speak, Adelle could still figure out his thoughts.

Simply put, it would be better to be frank and inform him.

After all, many people have the idea of taking up a second profession.

However, wanting is one thing; actually achieving it is much harder than Gauss had anticipated.

Through his exchanges with Adelle, Gauss gradually understood the critical aspects.

Learning a skill from another profession is difficult, but what’s even more difficult is engaging in a new system.

Because it involves the most fundamental conflict in the power system.

This seems to be a repulsive force from some grand rule of this world.

This rule results in the mutual exclusion of profession cores.

Even if two cores are designated as primary and secondary, like in Gauss’s case, the primary core, which is the source of Gauss’s abilities as a Magic Envoy, would logically suppress the birth of another sword profession core.

This process is something even the professional as the host cannot forcibly intervene in.

Many professionals who try to hold two professions are forced to abandon the thought of a second profession under this "selfish" rejection.

Only a few fortunate ones, due to special physical talents or unique opportunities, can embark on the path of dual professions.

However, this is not necessarily a good thing.

Having dual professions means the professional has to work harder than a normal single profession; any slack means not only no progress in the second profession, but even the main profession might get affected.

You either move forward against the current to gain more powerful combat strength or fall into mediocrity.

It is like a double-edged sword, in a sense.

Thus, when Adelle initially analyzed the situation for him, Gauss indeed had some concerns.

Only when he achieved entry-level in White Falcon Sword Skill Level 1 and his sea of consciousness began to condense the core for the sword profession did he realize.

The universal rule conflict in him seems...

Nonexistent!

His Magic Envoy core accepted the emergence of the neighbor very "harmoniously."

There was simply none of the conflict and intense resistance described by Adelle.

In other words, the rules were ineffective on him.

Concerning this point, he did not mention it to Adelle.

Because he thought it might involve his most core secret, the Adventurer’s Handbook.

The rules applicable to adventurers around the world didn’t apply to him, and he could only attribute this to the power of the Adventurer’s Handbook.

The presence of the Adventurer’s Handbook, in his perception, is a kind of great power symbolizing [Solidification].

Therefore, as long as a skill is mastered, it won’t degrade and will remain stable for a long time.

And its branch function, the Monster Atlas, is essentially a type of solidification behavior too.

It solidifies the adventurer’s combat actions against demons into a certain killing progress, gradually stacking numbers and accumulating benefits, eventually distributing them as phase rewards to him.

In fact, even an ordinary person, if they can consistently kill thousands of demons without falling along the way, would probably experience a rapid increase in strength.

However, they simply can’t compare to someone like Gauss on this "talent-laden" special track.

But when compared horizontally to themselves, they can certainly make significant progress.

This discovery further strengthened Gauss’s resolve to never expose the existence of the Adventurer’s Handbook.

An existence that can override the entire world’s rules, if known by others, would probably cause serious consequences.

As for the exposure of his current talents, he is not worried.

There are many geniuses in this world.

Some rely on their bloodline, some accept ancient heritage, and there are various gods and devils, even powers from beyond the world.

There are many bizarre "talents."

As long as he doesn’t explicitly say it, even if more people start to notice him, someone will construct a fitting explanation for him.

A dinner, akin to a "master appreciation feast," and also like a friends’ gathering, concluded amid low whispers.

On the second day.

The four members of Gauss’s team gathered once more after days of rest.

This time, the four were truly traveling light and simple.

All the luggage was stored in Gauss’s medium-sized storage pouch.

Besides their mounts, Aaliyah’s animal companions were also in the living pouch.

Today, the four decided to warm up with some simple tasks around them.

Although they are still learning their skills, long periods away from adventurer commissions are not a good decision.

"We’ve rested for several days, it feels like so long since we’ve been on a mission." Aaliyah, the team’s internal manager, scratched her head after checking the luggage and supplies before departure.

It always felt like she’d forgotten something, but after several confirmations, it turned out to be just a psychological effect.

"It has been a while." Gauss flexed his wrist.

The last goblin killing mission was about a week ago.

A far-off memory.

As he thought about it, his hands itched a bit.

Additionally, the White Falcon Sword Skill just so happened to require some practice targets.

The consolidation of his second profession was also eagerly craving some enthusiastic volunteers to push the process forward.

They arrived at the second floor of the Adventurer’s Guild.

The group quickly attracted the attention of others present.

For some reason, the rank badges of the members of Gauss’s team quickly matched their latest tiers.

Three-star, four-star, four-star, and five-star—such a configuration, even on this floor where only professionals can step, was already considered top-level.
